    I condemn the chairman of JOPA, and say he is as guilty as those running over and batoning retreating protesters, shooting pepper spray and projectiles at journalists’ heads, hassling, teargassing and arresting bystanders and passersby and using live rounds even on unarmed protesters.

    Personally, if anything, he feels to me even more guilty than the rest because by refusing an independent inquiry, he has turned nearly the entire force black by harming their collective reputation and incurring well-deserved abuse on the force, with the resultant effects on those previously inclined to be neutral if not for the psychological stress and lack of accountability (always look to the incentives). The blackest sheep has encouraged indiscipline and bad behaviour among black sheep and grey sheep alike.

    What a coincidence, right before the next mass demonstration

    Protests aside... a missing person who is later found dead... nothing suspicious?

    “Police have reasons to believe [the petrol bombs] would have been used at public events today or tomorrow and the purpose was to cause panic and chaos,” he said.

    This article makes little sense, IF the police thought it was to be used within 1-2 days as they state shouldn't they just of staked it out with CCTV and rapid response (may be too many cop shows) and caught the 'terrorists' red handed. With such certainty of such a narrow and nearby time zone for usage it would seem strange to go public with it.

    Obviously optics are all irrelevant as no one believes them anymore in the first place.

    Same old response. They just don't get it unfortunately, CL is not in charge of HK anymore.
